Around the Big East

 
Holloway never makes excuses about missing guys and gets his team to play hard regardless. Leading by 3 w two minutes left. They may run out of gas in second half, but admire how he keeps his guys together.
He’s a proper “coach” and I have a ton of respect for how his teams play. He also falls right into that category of former player coaches that seem to do well as coaches. Good enough as a player to understand the challenges at this level… but not so great of a player that he just assumes anything.

The guy has already been to a Final 8 w St Peter’s of all places. Some guys coach a fair amount of time at high D1 teams and never get that far.
 
Looking at M’Q & Creighton lately, both are solid teams, but honestly UConn is the best BE team this season. Their guard depth is daunting and talented. Having two solid bigs and a proven HC makes them a legit final four squad. Adding Spencer from portal was perfect match. He fits their aggressive, physical style well and shoots well.

Knocking them off will be tough, but a true “signature win”opportunity. Let’s beat X first though. 😇
